Fred Astaire San Mateo ( formerly Dance Vita) is a great dance studio with high quality professional instructors and friendly dancing environment!

It has been a great experience in learning and dancing here for the past 9 years! I have learned so much by taking group and private lessons that are taught by very capable and patient professional instructors. The front desk administrators are very nice too! Highly recommended!

I joined well structured private lessons as well as group lessons and learned a lot of great techniques. Recommend to anybody who can only dance after work hours for evening sessions. Friendly classmates and staffs. Highly recommend Monday beginner intermediate lessons for both Latin and standard. As well as extremely advanced ans fun classes from Aira on Tuesdays. A lot of people also join competitions and they have achieved very good result.
